First, this smaller cross-functional team must quantify the make clear the exact definition of the binocular series of products, starting with the development of a Market Requirements Document that will, if the product area appears attractive, will lead to the development of a Functional Engineering Specification. Stage 2 will lead to the development of a first prototype, followed by Stage 3, which will be a thorough business case preparation, where the pro forma financial statements of the project, the marketing plans including pricing, distribution, product strategies, and promotional strategies and initial engineering plans as well. Stage 4, product development, is the phase of as project where the initial cross-functional team expands significantly to include several other areas of the company. This is the phase where production processes will be added to the manufacturing centers or factories to support producing binoculars. This is the phase where the majority of time is spend during the development of a new product. Stage 5 is product testing where quality assurance and quality testing are used to test the binoculars for durability and accuracy. Stage 6 is the product introduction, where the entire company gets behind the new product, launching it and looking to make the sales quickly increase to offset the development expenses, and also grow company revenue. Information required to create a cross-functional team for the development of a binocular product family would be first and foremost, the total available market for this type of optical product, the existing presence or absence of competitors in existing distribution channels, the pricing practices in the binocular market, and the costs of competing from a marketing, selling, and service standpoint in the market of interest. In addition, and just as critical will be the ability to re-align internal processes within manufacturing to support the production of binoculars...
There also needs to be a strong endorsement, even at the initial cross-functional team level, from senior management to pursue the project. It will specifically be the decision of senior management to pursue the binocular market or not relative to other strategies and product development plans that may also be in consideration at the same time.Project Management in a Legal Context Project management is increasingly becoming a popular and preferred way of contending with inter-organizational ventures that are out of the ordinary.

All sheets must be accounted for and either closed off or re-scheduled before the new 'work to' list is formed. The maintenance superintendent checks all sheets to ensure quality of the system. Defects are entered into the system by the operations personnel who monitor the operation of all equipment or are usually the first point of contact for other personnel. The technician who rectifies a defect is responsible for
(Braunschweig; Day, 150) Most of the current generation of project managers expects the project management tools to furnish them with almost real-time knowledge in order to facilitate their decision-making. Some of these tools like DOFF, "Field of the Future," "Smart Fields," Microsoft's "Oilfield Connectivity" and i-Fields are currently being examined by exploration and production oil companies. Some of these tools have the capability of generating information from apparently incongruent data
